He wrote the code much faster than I did, and it worked for that purpose, but..

I did write the code, but I was slower, I seeked for some general windows-independent routines/Libs..

My code worked for 4 years, on all XP PCs, while his code did not. There were things he did not pay attention for and he had to chnage some windows settings, my code also worked on win 7, while his did not. My code replaced his code quickly two weeks later after we finished our codes.

I am an engineer, while he is not.

An engineer with tech background can easily convince die kunden better and faster. An MBA memorizes what he hears from engineers about a product, I 've seen it already :- )

An engineer can easily adapt himself to do what MBA guys do, but usually not the vice versa..
